Hemsworth Miners Welfare 5-3 Worksop Town
The Wells Beat Worksop To Move Up To Sixth
Mitch Husbands put the Tigers ahead early into the game. Hemsworth equalised minutes later through Connolly and then went ahead after Taylors goal thirty minutes in. Connolly completed his hattrick after the break as well as strike a from Danville to put The Wells 5-1 up. A goal from Robinson and a Husbands penalty pulled two goals back for the visitors however it wasn’t enough to get anything out of the game.
Hemsworth opened the chances early into the game. Nash Connolly was sent through on goal but Jason Alexander rushed out and saved with his feet before pouncing on the ball to avoid any danger.
Worksop countered from that chance. The ball was played to Milner on the left. Milner sent a perfectly weighted ball over the top for Husbands who carried the ball fifth-teen yards before firing straight at Rusling.
Mitch Husbands put the away side ahead in the thirteenth minute. Husbands powered Conor Higginson’s accurate corner into the ground and past the Hemsworth keeper.
The Tigers’ lead only lasted two minutes as The Wells equalised through Nash Connolly. Connolly was set free through the middle by Samuel Jones. Connolly advanced towards goal and cooly slotted his shot past an outrushing Alexander.
Miners Welfare almost completed the turn around a minute later in similar fashion. Bradley Dockerty was played through on goal by Hayton but this time Alexander came out and deflected the ball into the sidenetting. Samuel Jones headed the resulting corner wide of the target.
James Milner almost got the goal his run deserved. Milner slalomed his way past three Hemsworth markers before seeing his thirty yard strike deflect just wide of the post.
Hemsworth went ahead in the game on the half hour mark. Connolly turned his man and saw his deflected set-up headed across goal and into the net by an unmarked Joe Taylor.
Worksop were in search of an equaliser and went close moments after Taylor’s goal. Mitch Husbands rode the challenge of Sam Leach and darted down the wing. He cut in from the right and fired wide of the post.
The halftime whistle went with the home side leading.
Jason Alexander made some incredible saves in this second half to keep Worksop in the game as Hemsworth dominated. Brad Dockerty escaped the attention of the backline and latched onto Hayton’s through-ball. Dockerty tried to slide it round the keeper by Alexander got down and palmed it away from goal.
Joel Phillips then went close just before the hour mark. Alexander’s long clearance was flicked on by Higginson to Husbands who subsequently nodded it down to Phillips. Phillips took a chance and half-volleyed the ball towards goal but the ball landed on the roof of the net.
The next twenty minutes were heavily dominated by the hosts. Luke Danville replaced Joe Taylor and almost made an instant impact. Nash Connolly swung a ball into the middle for Danville whose header was superbly pushed away from goal.
Danville then was was the one providing the chances. The substitute carried the ball to the byline before cutting it back to the edge of the box. Samuel Jones saw his rifled shot at goal blocked off the line by Dan Gardner.
Alexander was keeping the Tigers in this fixture as he made two fantastic saves in quick succession. Firstly, Alexander tipped Richard Colliers curling freekick, that was sneaking in, away from goal. Dockerty picked up the loose ball wide left of the box. He cut in and hit a fierce shot towards goal which was parried away from danger by the Tiger’s number one.
Moments later, Samuel Jones saw his thirty yard effort cannon off the post and away from goal.
Hemsworth were edging closer and closer to extending the lead and did so on 74 minutes. Miscommunication between centre-backs Charlie Baird and Dan Gardner meant both players went up for the same cross but both were beaten in the air by Danville who flicked it on to Connolly who ran through and tucked it past Alexander.
Three minutes later, Hemsworth added a fourth goal to their tally. Luke Danville headed in Colliers corner-kick after he found himself unmarked in the area.
The visitors had their best chance of the second period thirteen minutes from time. Conor Higginson won possession in the middle of the park. He took on a player before squaring the ball to Overton. Despite being around thirty-five yards out, Matty Overton saw his curling attempt ricochet off the crossbar and away to safety.
Nash Connolly completed his hattrick with ten minutes to go. Connolly tapped Dockerty’s low driven cross into the net at the back post. Dan Gardner had to sit out the rest of the match due to picking up an injury while trying to stop The Wells’ fifth goal. This meant the Tigers were down to ten men.
Worksop pulled two goals back in the final seven minutes of the game. Good work from Joel Phillips out wide allowed Jamie Robinson to finish Phillips’ cross at the back stick. Then Mitch Husbands was impeded just inside the box and the referee blew and pointed to the spot. The Worksop skipper stepped up and placed his penalty to the keepers left-hand side.
The final whistle sounded to confirm the Tigers’ seventh successive defeat.
